Psychologist Mark Davis has suggested that there are 3 important types of empathy.

The first is a purely "cognitive" form of empathy that his termed "Perspective-Taking."

This is being able to see things from another's point of view. Putting yourself in someone else's shoes. It is important to better understand where someone is coming from, but it's not what we typically think of as empathy.

A second type of empathy, "Personal Distress." Personal distress is literally feeling another's emotions. When you are watching a scary movie, and you start to empathize with the hero and feel afraid, that is personal distress in action.

You are actually feeling the other's emotion through a process called "emotional contagion." The actor, or another person, is actually "infecting" you with their emotion.

We all experience personal distress, but too much of it may not be a good thing. Some people are so prone to feeling other's emotional states that they are battered about by the feelings and emotions of others (thus the label of "distress").

Third type of empathy: Empathic Concern.This type is what we most often think about when we hear the term "empathy." It is the ability to recognize another's emotional state, feel in tune with that emotional state, and if it is a negative/distressful emotion, feel and show appropriate concern.

These 3 types of empathy represent different aspects of our personalities. A person high in perspective-taking may be good at understanding others' points of view, but may not get very involved in others' emotions. An individual high on personal distress will, as suggested, be prone to experience others' emotional states, which has good and not-so-good aspects.

In reality, we all have some level of each of the types of empathy. The key is to understand the ways that we are empathic with others, and to realize the strengths and limitations of each type of empathy.

Dragon and I were talking about this in chat earlier, she mentioned about being able to relate to them all and even moreMe too... I relate to them all and more, looks like that makes three of us. Still it's nice to have it explained, I can really relate to the emotional contagion part

that's good to know we could be more than one type. been reading about star children since youre post earlier an im confused lol.

I don't know if I am a empath or a crystal child, I literally resonate wit both fully, though due to my age im apparently too old to be a crystal child and fit into the indigo child range, born 1979 but I don't have that warrior fighter spirit, I don't like to fight I like peace, I am stubborn and strong willed though.
